Adsorption Behavior of Acid Bordeaux B from Aqueous Solution onto Waste Biomass of Enteromorpha prolifera

Y Li, Fanping Meng, You Ya Zhou

Abstract

Enteromorpha prolifera green algae is the main species that causes green tide in China’s Yellow Sea. To effectively realize the resourceful utilization of this biomass, batch experiments were carried out to investigate factors that impact the Acid Bordeaux B (ABB) absorption of E. prolifera powder, such as exposure time, pH, adsorbent dose, and oscillation frequency. The dye adsorption onto adsorbent was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Results showed that amide, hydroxy, carboxylate, and C-O groups were involved in the adsorption process. The treatment conditions for dye concentration of 100 mg·L -1 were opti
